Product details
Overview
LTC3553EUD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower USB power manager IC integrating Li-ion battery charger, 200mA synchronous buck regulator, 150mA LDO, PowerPath™ ideal diode, and pushbutton controller in a single 20-pin QFN. It delivers seamless input source transition between USB (4.35–5.5V) and single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), supports 100/500mA USB current limiting, and achieves 12μA standby quiescent current with all regulators enabled - ideal for ultra-low-power portable medical devices and wearables.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3553EUD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3553EUD#TRPBF application, or LTC3553EUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 240mΩ ideal diode RON, programmable 380–420mA charge current via PROG pin, thermal-foldback protection, and precise 0.8V feedback thresholds for both buck and LDO regulators - all validated across –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC3553EUD#TRPBF implements a dual-regulator power management architecture with independent control logic: the buck regulator uses a 1.125MHz fixed-frequency PWM with PMOS/NMOS switching FETs (RDS(ON) = 1.1Ω / 0.7Ω), while the LDO employs unity-gain error amplification with 780–820mV feedback voltage and <0.025mV/mA load regulation. Both regulators support STBY mode for ultra-low-quiescent operation.
Its PowerPath manager features automatic load prioritization: VOUT supplies system load first, then allocates residual input current to charging; it includes integrated NTC-based thermal monitoring (VCOLD = 75–77% VBUS, VHOT = 34–36% VBUS), hard reset capability, and sequenced power-up via SEQ pin - enabling deterministic startup in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 21 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HPWR (1) | USB current limit select | Drives high → 500mA input limit; low → 100mA limit - enables compliance with USB suspend and high-power modes. |
| SEQ (2) | Power-up sequence control | Low → buck enables first; high → LDO enables first - ensures correct voltage sequencing for mixed-supply SoCs. |
| PBSTAT (3) | Debounced pushbutton status | Open-drain output synchronized to ON pin; used for MCU interrupt signaling without external debouncing. |
| ON (4) | Pushbutton input | Internal 200–650kΩ pull-up; connects to GND via momentary switch to initiate power-on or hard reset. |
| LDO_ON (5) | LDO enable control | Active-high logic input; must be driven - floating causes undefined regulator state and potential shoot-through. |
| STBY (6) | Ultra-low-power mode control | High → reduces buck/LDO quiescent current to 12μA; limits buck load to 10mA and slows transient response. |
| BUCK_ON (7) | Buck regulator enable | Active-high logic input; controls main switching regulator - critical for dynamic power gating in sleep/wake cycles. |
| BUCK_FB (8) | Buck feedback input | Servos to 0.8V ±20mV; sets output voltage via resistor divider - enables precision regulation independent of load or temperature. |
| LDO_FB (9) | LDO feedback input | Servos to 0.8V ±20mV; used in unity-gain configuration or adjustable mode - provides stable reference for low-noise analog rails. |
| LDO (10) | LDO output | 150mA low-noise linear output; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor for stability and PSRR optimization. |
| VINLDO (11) | LDO input supply | Accepts 1.65–5.5V; typically connected to VOUT or buck output - enables cascaded regulation for noise-sensitive subsystems. |
| BVIN (12) | Buck input supply | 2.7–5.5V input; recommended connection to VOUT - simplifies layout and leverages PowerPath for seamless source handoff. |
| SW (13) | Buck switch node | Connects to external inductor (10µH typical); carries pulsed current up to 300mA peak - requires tight loop layout for EMI control. |
| CHRG (14) | Charge status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during CC/CV charging; floats when C/10 termination reached - drives LED or MCU GPIO directly. |
| NTC (15) | Battery thermistor interface | Analog input for thermal foldback; requires bias resistor + NTC to ground - prevents charging outside safe battery temperature range. |
| PROG (16) | Charge current programming | 1V servo voltage in CC mode; ICHG = 750mA/mA × IPROG - enables accurate, resistor-set current without calibration. |
| BAT (17) | Li-ion battery terminal | Direct connection to single-cell anode; supports 2.7–4.2V operation with internal overvoltage/undervoltage protection. |
| VOUT (18) | PowerPath output | Main system rail (VBUS/BAT sourced); powers load first, then charges battery - eliminates need for external OR-ing diodes. |
| SUSP (19) | USB suspend control | High → disables VBUS current path; forces system to run from battery only - essential for USB compliance and zero-VBUS leakage. |
| VBUS (20) | USB input supply | 4.35–5.5V input with 3.5–3.9V UVLO; bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic cap - filters USB port noise and sustains load during plug/unplug. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PowerPath™ ideal diode | 240mΩ RON enables <10mV dropout at 40mA - preserves battery runtime during USB disconnection without external MOSFETs. |
| Programmable Li-ion charger | 380–420mA constant-current with thermal foldback, trickle charge (30–50mA below 2.6–2.75V), and 4.179–4.221V float voltage - meets JEITA-compliant charging profiles. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 12μA total battery drain with buck + LDO active - extends shelf life of sealed medical patches beyond 12 months. |
| Seamless USB/battery switchover | No brownout during VBUS removal; VOUT remains regulated via BAT→VOUT ideal diode - critical for real-time data logging continuity. |
| Integrated pushbutton interface | Hard reset, power-on, and power-up sequencing controlled by single ON button - eliminates external supervisor IC and reduces BOM count. |
| Thermal and safety monitoring | NTC-based hot/cold fault detection, 4-hour safety timer, and bad-battery termination (0.4–0.63hr) - satisfies IEC 62368-1 battery safety requirements. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF buck regulator to operate?
The LTC3553EUD#TRPBF buck regulator requires a minimum BVIN input voltage of 2.7V to function, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This allows operation down to partially discharged Li-ion batteries (~2.7V) or low-voltage USB sources. Below this threshold, the buck regulator enters undervoltage lockout and disables automatically to prevent malfunction.
How does the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF handle simultaneous USB connection and battery charging?
The LTC3553EUD#TRPBF implements automatic load prioritization: VOUT first powers the system load, then allocates any remaining input current to battery charging. For example, with HPWR = high (500mA limit) and a 300mA system load, up to 200mA flows to the battery - ensuring uninterrupted operation even during charging.
Can the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF be used without the NTC thermistor circuit?
Yes - the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF allows NTC functionality to be disabled by grounding the NTC pin (Pin 15), as stated in the Pin Functions section. This bypasses thermal monitoring, but removes JEITA-compliant charging safety; it is acceptable only in controlled environments where battery temperature remains within 0°C–45°C.
What is the purpose of the STBY pin on the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF, and how does it affect regulator performance?
The STBY pin on the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF enables ultra-low-power standby mode: when driven high, it reduces total battery drain to 12μA with both buck and LDO active, but limits buck output current to 10mA and slows transient response. This trade-off optimizes battery life in always-on monitoring applications where peak load demands are infrequent.
Does the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF support USB suspend mode, and how is it activated?
Yes - the LTC3553EUD#TRPBF supports USB suspend mode via the SUSP pin (Pin 19). Driving SUSP high disables the VBUS current path, reducing VBUS supply current to ≤15μA (typ.) while allowing the system to continue operating from the battery through the ideal diode. This meets USB 2.0 suspend current requirements (<500μA).
